In geometry, a translation is the shifting of a figure from one place to another without rotating, reflecting or changing its size. This is done by moving the vertices of the figure the prescribed number of spaces on a coordinate plane and then drawing the new figure.
These PFDs are designed to keep the wearer in a vertical position, but it is the wearersâ responsibility to maneuver themselves into a face-up position. Type III PFDs will keep unconscious wearers face-up just as well as a Type II vest.
Instead, try slowing it down a little and get back into the experience at hand (rolling/boofing) rather than the anticipation and feelings associated with having to roll or missing a boof. Itâs okay to grumble once in a while when upside down, but itâs generally good practice to avoid kayaking in places that induce panic attacks.
